Abstract

A connecting assembly is disposed between a concrete column and at least one beam having upper and lower flanges. The connecting assembly has upper and lower first connecting members each having at least one through-hole through which at least one portion of the column is disposed so that both of the first connecting members are mounted on the column. Upper and lower second connecting members are mounted on the upper and lower flange portions of the beam, respectively. The upper and lower second connecting members are affixed respectively to the upper and lower first connecting members by screw engagements, whereby the column is connected to the beam.

Dependent claims

A connecting assembly between a column and at least one beam comprising:

at least one first connecting beam having at least one through-hole through which at least one portion of said column is disposed so that the first connecting means is mounted on the column, the first connecting means including a ring-shaped central body which has the through-hole in the center thereof and which is embedded in a concrete body of said column, and further including at least one connecting plate which protrudes from the central body and which has a plurality of bolt-through-holes;
and
at least one second connecting means mounted on said at least one beam, the second connecting member being affixed to the first connecting means by screw engagements through said bolt-through-holes of said connecting plate, whereby the column is connected to said at least one beam.

A connecting assembly for connecting a column with a beam comprising:

an upper first connecting means having a structure so that the upper first connecting means can be mounted on the column to constitute a part of said column, the upper first connecting means including a ring-shaped central body which has a through-hole in the center thereof, and further including at least a connecting plate which protrudes from the central body and which has a plurality of bolt-through-holes;
an upper second connecting means having a structure so that the upper second connecting means may be mounted on an upper flange portion of said beam and may be affixed to the upper first connecting means by screw engagements through said bolt-through-holes of the connecting plate of the upper first connecting means, whereby said column can be connected to an upper flange portion of the beam;
a lower first connecting means provided separately from said upper first connecting means and having a structure so that the lower first connecting means may be mounted on the column to constitute a part of said column, the lower first connecting means including a ring-shaped central body which has a through-hole in the center thereof, and further including at least a connecting plate which protrudes from the central body and which has a plurality of bolt-through-holes;
and
a lower second connecting means having a structure so that the lower second connecting means may be mounted on a lower flange portion of said beam, and may be affixed to the lower first connecting means by screw engagements through said bolt-through-holes of the connecting plate of the lower first connecting means, whereby said column can be connected to a lower flange portion of the beam.
